Context: I noticed I have some clothes from 10 years ago that are still good to wear, and some newer things I have barely worn yet. I wondered if I reached a point where all the clothes I own would be enough to last for the rest of my life. There is a dresser and a closet worth of things.

For the sake of this question, let’s say you can’t buy, borrow, steal, receive as a gift, find, or make anything new to wear. All you get is what you have now. Is it enough?

    Yeah, socks and undies tend to disintegrate over time, so perhaps 4 years for socks, 6 for undies?

    The rest of the wardrobe could (and has!) last decades.

      My socks tend to last a little longer but I have noticed small holes in some older shirts. My shoes are probably a limiting factor though I normally wouldn’t count them as part of my wardrobe.
